  1. 1. Usability of Sentinel-1 C-band VV and VH SAR data for the detection of flooded oil palm

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Sarah Lee Sienaert; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Sentinel-1; SAR; C-band; VV; VH; Oil Palm; Flood; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Flooding in oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia is a common problem. The oil palm’s habitable range is restricted to lowland equatorial areas, and the high rainfall and degraded landscapes associated with oil palm cultivation leaves oil palm prone to flooding. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of a change detection approach to map global flood extents using Sentinel-1

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Axel Risling; [2022]
    Keywords : Flood mapping; global flood models; synthetic aperture radar; cloud-computing; change detection; Översvämningskartering; globala översvämningsmodeller; syntetisk aperturradar; molntjänster; förändringsdetektering;

    Abstract : Floods are the most frequent disaster in the world and flood exposure is increasing globally. Flood mapping of past events can be a useful aid in not only disaster risk management, but also in evaluating and validating global flood models (GFMs) which are being used to assess and predict these floods.

  5. 4. Analysing the vegetation condition during the 2017 and 2018 growing seasons using indices derived from Sentinel-2 data : a case study over southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Camilla Persson; [2019]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; remote sensing; vegetation indices; drought; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The summer of 2017 was climatically close to normal in southern Sweden, whereas the following summer was unusually warm and dry. These two years therefore make an interesting case study for investigating the impact of severe drought on vegetation, particularly when considering that climate change is predicted to lead to an increased frequency of drought events in the study area.
